“God’s Holy Temple”Throughout the course of a life,

we experience many things.Many of us make the start of the

new year a time to make newresolutions and goals that wereflect upon throughout the

year. The Bible says our bodiesare temples, and the Holy Ghost

resides in us, and as such wemust keep our bodies free ofthings that would not glorify

God. As Christians we arechildren of the light, and we

should remember to takeinventory of our spiritual and

physical bodies throughout theyear. We pray unceasingly toJesus, who renews, confronts,

forgives, loves, and nurtures us.By doing this we shine as a

beautiful holy Temple filledwith the Holy Spirit and the

glory of God who is the authorof love, hope, peace, and eternal

life that we can share withothers. - Rev. Roger PlessenThe Women’s Fellowship -
